Thought that I would make my own thread:

I've had my 6500 for about 6 months...everything is good and I'm really happy.

Except for 1 thing...Pay Per View does not work well. About every 30 seconds the screen goes blue like it has lost the signal or like it does when I'm switching inputs. It comes back after a second or two but is annoying and I can't watch anything of length.

I have 3 other LCD TV's and digital cable boxes, they work fine and I've tried multiple boxes in my theater and all have the same effect. Any ideas?

I tried to search but didn't come up with anything. Any help is appreciated.

What type of connection/signal are you using? How long is the cable run?

RG6 from where it comes into the house, probably 40 feet to the cable box. Then, 6 ft HDMI from the box to my receiver and about 25 ft from the receiver to the projector.

I'd try a different cable or signal type/connection. I can't be sure since i don't know all of the details, but a 25 foot run for a crappy hdmi cable may be too much. This will cause it to loose the signal randomly or when the bandwidth usage gets too high.
